🚨 BRONZE MEDALLION COURSES ARE BACK FOR 2026/27 🌊🛟

Ready to become a Surf Life Saver?

This season, we're offering two ways to complete your Bronze Medallion, giving members more flexibility than ever before.

🔹 Standard Bronze Medallion Course
Our popular standard bronze program is perfect for those who prefer to learn progressively over several weeks, combining weeknight and weekend sessions while building confidence and skills in the surf.

🔹 NEW Intensive Bronze Medallion Course
Following member feedback from last season and recognising the training commitments of our volunteer trainers, we're introducing a new one-week intensive Bronze Medallion course during the summer school holidays. This will replace our traditional January to March Bronze course, providing a more flexible option for those wanting to complete their qualification in a dedicated week of practical, hands-on training.

The Bronze Medallion is the foundation of surf lifesaving and equips you with the skills and knowledge to patrol our beaches, perform rescues, respond to emergencies, and become part of an incredible volunteer team.

Prerequisites
✅ Financial member of Coogee Beach Surf Life Saving Club
✅ Minimum 15 years of age on or before the final assessment
✅ Swim 400 metres unaided in 9 minutes or less

💲 Course Cost: $185

📧 Register your interest by emailing [email protected]

Whether you're looking for the standard bronze experience or the flexibility of our new intensive format, there's never been a better time to earn your Bronze Medallion.

One Club. One Family. Join the team that's making a difference. 💙🧡
